Dear Sue
It may not help directly with your question but the ICM position paper 'Positive action to reduce smoking and passive smoking in pregnancy' http://www.internationalmidwives.org/Statements/Positive%20action.pdf demonstrates the international support for such action, confirms the risks to mother and child and emphasises the midwife's social and ethical responsibility in this area.
Best wishes
Elizabeth

Dear All,
I'm not sure it this is the correct forum for my request, but here goes!
I am preparing a paper for the acute and primary care trust boards to discuss public health targets - particularly increasing breast feeding and reduction in smoking in pregnancy.
Can anyone point me towards papers, research, reports that will support my argument that these are difficult to achieve and can not be monitored on a month by month, quarter by quarter basis such as reducing waiting times etc.
Many thanks to all
Regards
